processing-android Android mode no longer works in Processing 4.4.1

Most appropriate sub-area of Processing 4?

Other (specify if possible), PDE

Processing version

4.4.1

Operating system

MacOS 14.6.1 M2 Android Device: Samsung Galaxy A8 Tablet

Steps to reproduce this

"1. Select Android mode

Try to run the following source code example.

3."

snippet


void setup() {
  fullScreen();
  background(209);
  fill(255, 255, 0);
  rect(200,200,400,400);
}

void draw() {  
}

Would you like to work on the issue?

Assign to someone else.

Hi @vsquared Thank you for reporting this issue. I looks like this is something we will have to fix within the Android Mode as its gradle is grabbing a different JDK to run the process.

@SableRaf can you move this issue?

Hello everyone, processing github newbie here. How can I stay notified on the progress on this issue? Desperately need android mode for my thesis. Or is there a workaround I could use until this is fixed?

May 17 '25 11:05 remag2901

is there a workaround I could use until this is fixed? Android mode with Processing version 4.3 should work ok.

May 17 '25 12:05 vsquared

Hi @remag2901. As @vsquared mentioned, the current workaround is to use Processing 4.3.4.

If you need help getting set up, feel free to post on the Processing forum: https://discourse.processing.org/c/processing-android

Note: We’re currently migrating Processing to use Gradle as the default build system. This should eventually make it easier to run sketches on Android without relying on a dedicated Android mode.

Thank you everyone!

Hello,

This issue is from April 29 and for the development environment and software versions that was shared.

I am cautiously optimistic that I may have a solution for W10 and W11.

I was able to get this to work on this development environment:

Windows 10 and 11
Processing 4.4.4
Motorola Android Phone (Android version 14)
Android Mode for Processing 4.6.1 (Installed July 28).
I did an SDK update.

Path in Environment Variables set to: C:\Programs_Portable\Processing\app\resources\jdk\bin < java.exe is available here on my install

See Updates in this this post:

https://discourse.processing.org/t/android-programming-for-beginners/46813/13

I only use the portable installs. I do not know what the MSI installs or sets in addition to core software and cautious (may cause conflicts for my use).

I only use the portable installs. I do not know what the MSI installs or sets in addition to core software and cautious (may cause conflicts for my use).

Hi @glvjr, AFAIK the .msi installer on Windows does the following:

Add a Start Menu shortcut for Processing
Append Processing to the PATH (used by the CLI)
Add a registry key so Processing appears in Add/Remove Programs

You can see the full instructions in Processing.wxs

@SableRaf @Stefterv @glvjr I haven't tested extensively, but I got the example sketch running from Processing 4.4.8 just now with no issues using the following setup:

MacBook Pro (M1 Pro) running macOS 15.7 (no OpenJDK)
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ running Android 15

Happy to see how things work on the Windows 11 machines in my classroom and report back. We're taking a field trip to the local children's museum this week to needfind and will probably end up writing sketches for their tablets.

Can confirm that Processing 4.4.8 doesn't work on Windows 11. Processing 4.3.4 does with one quirk: I have to re-install the Android SDK every time I open the PDE.

Here's the error message I got on Windows 11 with Processing 4.4.8 for reference:

Can confirm that Processing 4.4.8 doesn't work on Windows 11. Processing 4.3.4 does with one quirk: I have to re-install the Android SDK every time I open the PDE.

I can confirm the same problem still exists in 4.4.10

Enabling android mode always display this pop-up :

I have been able to manually locate the sdk under :

"C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Processing\android\sdk"

Anyway when trying to run the example sketch on device :

void setup() {
  orientation(LANDSCAPE);    
}

void draw() {
  background(255);
  line(0, 0, width, height);
  line(0, width, 0, height);  
}

will report the following :

WARNING:We recommend using a newer Android Gradle plugin to use compileSdk = 33

This Android Gradle plugin (7.1.0) was tested up to compileSdk = 32

This warning can be suppressed by adding
    android.suppressUnsupportedCompileSdk=33
to this project's gradle.properties

The build will continue, but you are strongly encouraged to update your project to
use a newer Android Gradle Plugin that has been tested with compileSdk = 33

When trying to run any sketch that use libraries the error change to :
